A pretty unique flavor profile all around. Lots of peanut brittle and roasted peanut. Love this stuff. It actually reminded me a bit of the Wild Turkey Rare Breed and Russell&#39;s Reserve.

I assume the bourbon and rye were distilled at Jim Beam, but I&#39;m not aware of any corn whiskey or malt whiskey products they make there. It wouldn&#39;t surprise me if they have corn whiskey in the warehouse, but since the age of the malt whiskey is older than Freddie&#39;s tenure at the distillery, it makes me curious if Beam Suntory imported some malt whiskey from one of their single malt distilleries in Japan or Scotland, or if it&#39;s a remnant of some previous experiment by Jim Beam with malt whiskey.<br /><br />I picked up a bottle at the distillery over the weekend and am eager to try it, just hoping to learn a bit more about what I&#39;m drinking. Unfortunately I didn&#39;t think to ask while there.Steelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14771363094115251844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-79094003531729353072017-07-25T10:34:48.223-05:002017-07-25T10:34:48.223-05:00This seems like a very creative concept, coming fr...This seems like a very creative concept, coming from a major distillery, and it&#39;s nice to see the blending of straight whiskeys having a bit of a revival. The practice was once pretty commonplace, but after falling on hard times is due for a resurgence.<br /><br />Joseph Finch and Schenley made Golden Wedding, a blend of straight whiskeys, for decades and it was their flagship product for a long time.<br /><br />Best of luck to Beam, and I hope to taste this soon!Sam Komlenicnoreply@blogger.com
